Nice looking watch
I have been critical of those watch brands that simply plonk an ETA movement into a (usually) garish case and dial and declare themselves a legit brand. They fall into the category of low grade jewelry watches in my book. One thing these brands are not: watchmakers. And what does the purchase price represent? Advertising and marketing plain and simple. However, if someone uses the ETA movement and adds an innovative well done complication, that's a different story. This looks like a very nice piece with a first rate complication. And to boot, the price seems right. Congrats.
Sometimes you find a gem
Looking at some internet sites a few months ago I came across Christopher Ward. Amongst the many watches on the website was a special limited edition of the C9 Jump Hour watch. The jump hour complication is built on top of an ETA 2824-2 movement and was d...
Indeed you do...
it is nice to find something different and to be able to support young innovators. Of all the wonderful (and more often than not significantly more expensive) watches that I wear, this is the one that people ask about the most. I did get one person ask ho...

Thank you....
I totally agree about putting an ETA base movement into a watch with no particular aesthetic appeal and purporting to be a watch maker. A watch designer from the case perspective maybe. My sole reasons for buying this watch were (in no particular order): ...
I like it!
I had the opportunity to meet Johannes and think that his work on the L&H watch was splendid -- so it is great to see his latest project. Nice complication, and from a styling point of view I like the large size of the hours window. Not 100 percent sure a...
Thanks Gary....
I wasn't too sure about the web pattern either, but happily it looks much better in the flesh than in pictures. Regards. Simon
Did some research...
Did some research about the watch and I really like this watch quite a bit! It is definitely unique and beautiful... And it's a watch that features an unusual complication... Great piece! Truly. Looking forward to other unusual pieces from this brand.
nice looking watch Simon
but more importantly it s great to see you back here. you have been missed more than you probably realise. hopefully things are sorting themselves out and i will see you at a get together soon. i've seen a few Christopher Ward watches and they seem to be ...
Thank you Graham.....
it is good to be back and thank you for your kind words. The Jump Hour is definitely towards the more affordable side of things and a great complication as well. I still love the big 47mm watches though If we can get the London GTG going in late May it wo...

i'll be in Paris in the spring Simon. actually that sounds like a song. i mean April 21st so i really hope to meet up then. i dont know if you've kept up with the forum, but a few of us have tried to do small gtg's every couple of months in London, just a...
Please do keep me in the loop on the informal GTGs......
and, work permitting, I woudl love to meet up in Paris. I am thinking it may be worth delaying a London GTG until after the Olympics as late May is probably too close to late April and it seems that quite a few are making the trip to Paris. Have to think ...
That's a nice find
Congratulations on a nice catch. It isn't always about "haute horologie". Regards, Richard.
Thanks Richard.....
I agree. There is room for some lower horology alongside the haute horologie. Simon
very nice indeed
thanks for pointing this watch out. Very elegant and sober. Best Andreas
